Crossmember Removal and Broken Output Shaft Inspection

one probably getting some light under here two putting it back down to disconnect the battery which i actually i think it's already disconnected yeah it is but normally you would disconnect the battery three pull the starter pretty easy to do right there uh i don't know it was just it wasn't just like fell off it never had a through bolt it just has thick thread so it would thread right into that hole yeah and it just kind of pulled out should probably undo this stud here to get this out of the way it might be holding some weight still i'm really not sure um don't know i think it is a little bit it doesn't look like it messed up the cross member at all which is good yeah it's still holding some weight there we go this will be fun because i don't have any kind of transmission jack what i asked her if she was okay to handle that table herself i'm just over here explaining something and i'm watching you ballroom dance with a 10 foot tall table this is one of those times where i can't go help i guess we'll get mad i got it all right well i started to undo don't walk under the transmission it's precarious right now i took this bolt out because i thought if it was holding weight it would just stay there anyway well it fell down like another two inches and actually wedged the impact in there i pulled it out but it's occurred to me that we're gonna have to find a way to support this thing faster than what i had anticipated so what we're gonna do is the reasoning for logan struggling with that table over there is we're gonna take that table put it under here lower the car until some of the transmission is supported by said table and then undo the stuff pick the car back up to continue working i'm thinking we'll also use that table to get the transmission out but we'll save that fiasco for uh when the time comes so here's what we've got going on here 22 ton bus jack stand on a wooden table we're just going to lower it down until it starts to take some weight off the tail shaft what am i supposed to do just film the jack stand and transmission i'm gonna move this back just a little bit that'll be fine this looks like some really hot it is we don't have the right stuff to do this so we have to get creative if aliens can build the pyramids we can get a transmission out without a transmission jack
